132. The Scapegoat Child: Family Silence, and Breaking the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse

from Mother Mayhem: For Daughters of Narcissistic or Emotionally Limited Mothers · host Heather Gray, LICSW

In narcissistic family systems, loyalty is redefined. It means: don’t disrupt the narrative.So when you speak up, name harm, or refuse to play along, the system reacts.
